2024 Handwriting competition - Skyler Year 2.jpeg

Skyler, like Rosie, is already writing in ‘joined-up handwriting’ in Year 2 (age 6-7).

My own age cohort was not introduced to this idea until the end of Year 4.

Maybe it was just because I was/we were taught in a two-room school in a small village? Had our peers from the town been writing ‘joined-up’ for two years longer than we had? I don’t think so, but I dunno 🤷‍♂️
